Trisha, I'm so glad to hear you sounding better. Sometimes all we need is just a little pick-me-up and I'm glad we may have helped you out a little. I never would have had my hair the way it is now many pounds ago. It's curled under at or below the chin. It would've enhanced my round face before, but softens the square jaw now. Have fun with the new hair. It always perks me up when I make a change like that. Also, continued success to you. I think of you often and hope you are doing well. Linn

Hello Everyone, First let me thank all of you that replied to my post in December.The holidays were difficult and emotional but all your advice and well wishes did help and I cannot thankyou enough. Well my scale read 198 this morning and that has me jumping for joy. Haven't weighed under 200pounds in so long.I am eating good and keeping up on my walking. Yesterday I went to the salon and had my haircut short.I have never had really short hair before and truthfully was terrified I'd look aweful.LOL The hair I loss after surgery is growing back in well I had long hair with lots of lil hairs sticking up everywhere and It looked terrible.Soooo off it came and I have had so many compliments lol everyone says I look 15 years younger.I am turning 40 in July so that really made my day.I will be posting a new pic when I pick them up. Again thanks to all.Take Care Trisha

Great Job Mary!!! Isn't it cool to have those reality moments? I couldn't believe it when someone said to me in conversation, "But you're so SMALL" when I still don't see myself as small as I'm told I am. Linn

Michelle, Getting below 200 is such a wonderful feeling. Congratulations!!!! Your boyfriend sounds great too. Sounds like life is really good for you right now. Enjoy each and every minute of it. Mary

Michelle, congratulations on the 199! What a wonderful milestone! It's events like that, that really keep us going. The other evening, I was watching tv with my husband. He was on the couch and I was sitting in my chair with the ottoman in front. Well, he looked over and asked me if he could use the ottoman if I wasn't going to. That's when I realized, I had my knees tucked up under my *****freezing all the time now!). Can you believe it.......KNEES TUCKED UNDER MY CHIN..... and I was still breathing normal! Yes....that's what keeps us going! It also sounds like you've found a keeper! He sounds like a very caring, wonderful person. Wanda
